The book is a 1990's version of the Graham & Dodd classic!
Mr. Hooke's book is a very readable explanation of how Wall Street professionals value common stocks today in the 1990's. Unlike most books on Security Analysis, this book was written by someone who actually worked on Wakk Street for 10 years. It shows all the techniques in use to value many different stocks, and I liked the fact that the book had a lot of examples and charts. It was easy to follow, and it wasn't an academic book like some others I've bought. Hooke has a easy to read style, and I think the book is a good reference book for a Wall Streeter and corporate executive. For the serious individual investor, it should be mandatory reading and it 's an excellent primer for an MBA that likes investments. I just wish he had published the book sooner because it could have helped my portfolio and my job which is analyzing stocks and bonds.

sUPERLATIVE REVIEW OF SECURITY AND WALL STREET
MR. HOOKE HAS WRITTEN AN EXCELLENT BOOKOF THE SECURITY MARKETS, WALL STREET AND SECURITY ANALYSIS. IT SURPASSES A SIMILAR ONE WRITTEN BY GRAHAM & DODD. AS A 20 YEAR STUDENT OF BUSINESS AND SECURITY ANALYSIS, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND MR. HOOKE' S ANALYSIS OF SECURITIES, SECURITY ANALYSIS AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO THE ECONOMY. THIS IS MR. HOOKE'S SECOND BOOK. HIS FIRST BOOK CONCERNED MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS . BOTH BOOKS USE PLAIN ENGLISH MAKING IT EASILY UNDERSTANDABLE TO THE AVERAGE PERSON AND NOT JUST A STUDENT OF THE SECURITY MARKET. THIS IS A GOOD BOOK FOR TEACHERS AND PROFESSORS WHO WANT THEIR STUDENTS TO READ , INFORMATIVE AND BOOKS WELL WRITTEN BOOKS ON THE SECURITY MARKET.
MR. HOOKE HAS 20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE OF CORPORATE FINANCE, M AND A, INVESTMENT BANKING AND INTERNATIONAL FINANCE.HE HAS WORKED ON WALL STREET AND FOR THE WORLD BANK. HIS EXPERIENCE IS WELL EXEMPLIFIED IS HIS SECOND BOOK.
I HAVE REFERRED MR. HOOKE'S BOOK TO ALL OF MY ASSOCIATES ESPECIALLY THOSE IN THE INSURACE INDUSTRY WHICH IS MY PLACE OF WORK.

A Must For The Serious Investor
This book is the best I've ever read on stock valuation. It has helped me understand the fundamentals behind valuation. It is an easy read for those who have some background in finance but not impossible for the layman to understand. Similar Products
